Story
Rekkr is a purebred Norwegian Elkhound. He is very protective of the family that he is with and is also good with children and will play. He is cautious of other people and dogs (all bark, no bite) he simply needs more social skills with other dogs. Whenever he needs to go outside to use the bathroom, he will start spinning in circles to let you know. He is not picky when it comes to his food or water. He loves going for walks but is very alert at all times. Rekkr will make a great addition to a family, but patience is needed to further his training needs and activity needs (hikes, walks, fetch, training) Rekkr is an Old Norse/Scandinavian name meaning Warrior Man or Warrior

Story
Adopt Me: Energetic 6-Year-Old Female Blue Heeler. This sweet and lively 6-year-old Blue Heeler is looking for a loving home! She is chipped, vaccinated, and spayed. Great with people, dogs, and other pets, but would thrive as the only pet due to her jealous nature. She has lick granulomas on her paws (likely behavioral) that may improve with plenty of activity and attention. She’s friendly, loyal companion who just needs the right home. If you’re ready for an active and loving best friend, reach out to meet her!

Hey, I'm Raiderette. I'm a BEAUTIFUL 1 year old Pitbull. I have pretty and unique markings that make me stick out. I am STRONG and sometimes I forget how powerful I am. I get excited easy and I will jump, but I settle down after I get my excitement out. I would love to find a family with a yard and active lifestyle. I would be best with a family that doesn't have small children. I LOVE WATER!! I've never been to the beach, but I bet I would LOVE it! Apply to Adopt me!

Hey Hey, I'm Usnavi and I'm 2 years old. I'm a big boy with a heart of gold! I really am just a big sweetheart! I bond quickly to my humans and I will make a loyal companion.

I can jump when I'm excited, but I quickly stop once I get my initial excitement out. Also, I'm house trained!! It's unsure how I am with other dogs, so bring the whole family to meet me. Please apply to adopt me!
